All ChannelCon attendees can download a free copy of the Sales Toolkit†beginning Aug. 3 and continuing through Aug. 15. After that it will be available exclusively to CompTIA Premier Members.

Also, at 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4, five Chicago tech start-up companies will compete for a cash prize when they enter CompTIA Dragons’ Den. CompTIA says the Dragons’ Den “is a ‘channelized’ spinoff of the popular global TV show where entrepreneurs make their pitch for investments from venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.” All five participants will receive feedback and advice from the ChannelCon judging panel of Dragons. The event is open to all ChannelCon attendees, who will participate in voting for the winning startup.
If you can’t make it to Chicago for CompTIA ChannelCon 2015, you can attend ChannelCon Online for access to two days and two tracks of training and education, plus all of the keynote presentations. Virtual attendees will also receive complimentary access to the new CompTIA Sales Toolkit.
